(I assume you've already seen Ian's response to your questions)
To get what I call binutils-2.9.4 in my howto, you can get either get
the whole Cygwin source tree [1] (big!), or just get the pieces that
form binutils separately [2] that you can combine to re-create the 2.9.4
tree.

Here's what I had posted to the Cygwin mailing list a while back:

Subject: Re: How to compile binutils
Thanks to DJ's addition of toplevel.tar.bz2, it's very complete.
Here's a list of files needed for binutils-2.9.4 (I just wrote this
up yesterday for my mingw-cross-howto guide, so you're in luck):
bfd.tar.bz2 gas.tar.bz2 ld.tar.bz2 toplevel.tar.bz2
binutils.tar.bz2 gprof.tar.bz2 libiberty.tar.bz2
config.tar.bz2 include.tar.bz2 opcodes.tar.bz2
etc.tar.bz2 intl.tar.bz2 texinfo.tar.bz2
After you get these, unpack each one in the same place and you'll have
everything needed to rebuild binutils.

Mumit
